The relationship building between the kids and Eleven is incredibly sweet, the beginnings of an interesting government conspiracy grow, the dramatic moments feel genuine, the 80s vibe feels stronger than ever (also nice to hear some Joy Division, which fits perfectly), and the overall narrative really starts picking up speed as all of the characters begin putting the puzzle pieces together in an incredibly entertaining and engaging manner. There is some continuity/editing errors here and there (Mike looking over pages that change between shots, Mike talking from behind but there is no audio, choppy editing with Hopper punching the State Trooper outside the bar, etc.), and it's a little silly how none of the teachers notice the fight growing in the gymnasium right beside them, but with every scene furthering the narrative and characters so effectively I can't help but love the episode regardless.
